Basketball, aside I just want to acknowledge the consistency and quality of your uploads, Jonny. This channel is about to blow up

I'm a Wolves fan through and through, but I think Timmy D is on another level when compared to KG. True, the stats were similar, but you could argue it's more impressive that Tim got those stats considering how good of teammates he had, which would theoretically take numbers away from all time greats. I think the similarity in stats despite team strength points to TD being that much better. Again, I grew up watching KG and have nothing but love for the Big Ticket

If you switch Duncan and KG, KG is getting traded due to him probably beefing with pop 😂

When saying that Isiah is the 3rd best PG is considered a hot take you know that something, somewhere, went wrong.

On a talent level yes, duncan and garnet are close, but i dont think that means they would have the same outcomes. I think Minnesota would have saw more success with tim and SA a little less with KG. Tim just effects winning more.

I found out about Sidney Moncrief’s existence when I was like 10 with NBA2k MyTeam. From there I researched him (I also loved the card😭), and realized how great he was. Educated my dad and other fans on the baller that was Moncrief. Love seeing him get his flowers consistently on this channel.

This is a beautiful video that elevates players without denigrating anybody else. So many players, in different circumstances, would be viewed much more favorably. You are so even-handed here. That section about Overrated being tossed around too much because of the extreme viewpoints—that are always offset by the other extreme—that’s the most important takeaway. Thanks for more gold, Jonny!!!

To me, Duncan is a greater player than Garnett; not necessarily from a talent standpoint, but from an attitude one. He gave the keys to the kingdom to Tony (still during some of Duncan's best years) when the league was becoming more perimeter oriented, and never complained. He sacrificed money, playing time and usage rate for the benefit of his team, and allowed Pop to coach him as hard as he wanted, which in turn made everyone else just as coachable. Spurs basketball was a beautiful thing, but Manu, Tony, Kawhi, and even Pop grew as professionals in no small part thanks to Timmy's willingness to be a cog, and not the center piece

41 minutes?!? Going to have to come back and strap in to enjoy this blessing

Sorry johnny cant agree with the Lebron at pf comparrison because Lebron best seasons could honestly be argued to not be at Miami but in his second run Cleveland at sf also he played two of the years in miami at sf and won mvp as a sf in 2011-2012 season so the pount still stands Tim Duncan was at his best at Pf so he is ranked at pf

Coming from a Duncan fan. You are right about debate Duncan v Garrett. One thing you missed the personalities of the two. I don't think Garnett would be willing to take pay cuts to get those types of players. Ewing was that way an look what happen to him.

Generally, you are well versed. Solid video. My takeaways/ opinions: 1. Duncan is in the GOAT conversation, not just greatest PF. 2. Wade >> Pierce. Wade was more efficient, a better defender, had a higher peak and did more with less. The Shaq that Wade had =/= the Shaq that 3. Kobe had nor the KG/ Allen duo. Both had great support teams. PP definitely had shooting efficiency above Wade, but his overall scoring was a tier below. 4. Love the nod to 07 LBJ. That was crazy! It's a finals that he should be praised just to have made. I think his G7 against GSW was overrated, but the 07 DET series? All time! 5. I also agree about the overrated portion.

Hands down the best basketball channel in this niche. No big fancy bs, just good knowledge and thought out talking points. Thanks for the videos man

Again and again,jonny with the clutch videos 😅

I will continue to take this to my grave; Isaiah deserved to be on that Dream Team regardless of how others felt about it.

On the Tim Duncan & Kg comparison you would think kg stats would be drastically better considering the talent differential but it was honestly really close

great vid man i love how much efort you put into these

Haven’t looked at the video yet but I really appreciate you putting videos out right before my lunch hour so I can enjoy lunch even more with your content!

I remember watching that Lebron game with my dad and i was 8 years old and we couldn’t believe what we’re witnessing 😭 My dad even got a notebook and wrote about his experience watching that game 😂
